New Year's Eve: Port Douglas

Our morning walk and scootering started off under cloudy skies 

but ended with a sunny afternoon and a Japanese lunch in between.

In the evening we went to Sheraton Hotel for a sumptuous buffet

where Mummy also had a very yummy Mojito sorbet!

Like in Rydges Cairns, we were greeted by a beautifully set table 

with our name on it.

Hugh was also thrilled to see the table number was 8

- his favourite number!

Day 11 : Port Douglas

We were supposed to go to the Low Isles today 

but the weather was not favourable so we postponed it.

Instead, we went to Little Larder for breakfast.

Since it was still raining we drove back to the apartment for 

Hugh's first poker game lesson. 

Guess who likes it?

Day 10 : Port Douglas

We spent a relaxing day at the apartment.

Had a light lunch...notice the milkshake again?

We were going to the Flames of the Forest dinner and show 

but it was cancelled due to floods. 

In the end this was our dinner and Hugh didn't seem to mind.

Day 9 : Cairns to Port Douglas

This is his experience eating an uncut apple.... 

not a good time attempting it as he's got 3 missing teeth :-)

For breakfast we had French Toast at Coffee Club before setting off to Port Douglas.

We arrived in Port Douglas earlier than expected and 

got greeted by a very lovely one-bedroom apartment. 

However, it rained all evening and was very humid.

He's developed pincers

Happens when he's all excited!

Day 8 : Cairns

After some Vietnamese Pho for lunch we headed to the esplanade for some swimming.

For dinner we had Balinese at Bay Leaf Restaurant. 

He's really into milkshakes now and this banana milkshake is almost a foot tall!!!

Boxing Day : Cairns

Still cloudy but we got some swim in anyway! 

We also went to the rockpools and playground nearby.

In the evening we had some yummy dinner 

and Hugh claims his vanilla milkshake was the best he's had!

Mummy's Mojito was pretty darn good too!
